As for things happened on the side of the warehouse, they were more smoothly. With JiangCheng and Anna here, even with a mid-level guard, the defence of this place was vulnerable. These people didn't even know who their attacker was.
"The guards have been dealt with." Barbara was in trouble: "But what to do with the people imprisoned here?"
"Go and open the cell door later." Lance said, "Knock them all out and let them wake up on their own tomorrow morning."
"I know how to do." Barbara said while curling her lips towards Anna: "What about those four humans?"
Anna heard the conversation here and looked at Lance with pleading eyes. Even if she didn't say a word, Lance understood what he meant.
"Impossible." He directly rejected her unspoken request: "I can't help these people."
"But in this city..." Anna gritted her teeth: "They have only one way to die!"
"Don't misunderstand." Lance said almost coldly: "I am a demon, not a human. I help you because you are valuable. I have no interest and no reason to help people who are worthless. "
Anna gritted her teeth: "I... I can exchange for things." She took off her ring, "As long as you can save them, Your Highness."
Lance still shook his head: "Anna, you have to understand your position. This thing is given to you by me. It means that this thing is originally mine. Are you using my belongings to negotiate terms with me?"
"I..." She said anxiously: "Then what do you need before you are willing to save them?"
He tilted his head and raised the corner of his mouth: "Tell me why do you care so much about these human?"
Anna's expression tightened and she didn't answer.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"No!" She spoke quickly, as if accepting her fate: "Because...their clothes and accents... these people are the people in our family's territory."
"Territory?" Lance didn't expect this answer. He thought for a moment and continued: "It seems a little different now. So what is your last name? I remember you refused to tell me before, right? "
Anna took a deep breath: "Christine, my full name is Anna Christine."
Before Lance understood what the family name Christine meaned which made Anna be so cautious. Barbara over there had already exclaimed. "Christine!? The Black Magician Family of Rock Kingdom! Oh my god! Your Highness, what an incredible person did you capture back!!"
"Christine family? Black magician?" Lance was a little confused. He didn't have any memory of this in his head, so he just asked instinctively: "Black magician? Those with the pointed hat that even can pierce others?"
"Your Highness, do you really not know?" Anna looked at him in disbelief: "The forbidden-curse that hit you was cast by the our Christine family."
"What!?" Lance was startled: "Your family?"
She lowered her head and explained with a look of shame: "Strictly speaking... it's not my family's, it's just what my family produces."
"So what's going on with this black magician?" Lance looked at her: "What does this last name mean?"
"It represents one of the three most meritorious families in the Rock Kingdom!" Barbara explained dutifully: "Christine, one of the three founding families, is the killing machine of the Rock Kingdom. In the battle for the rise of the Rock Kingdom, Christine family was once ordered to resist the invasion of the Secret Law United State. They experienced three days of bloody battles and blood flowed like rivers! According to the description of the reinforcements later, the blood on the battlefield at that time solidified, dyeing the land black. So the Christine family later also had the title of Black Blood Magician"
With that said, she looked at Anna: "You said you are from the Christine family? How can a member of that family be captured?"
Anna replied guiltily: "People... people always encounter some accidents."
"So." Lance held his chin: "Is the place which my eldest brother was fighting for your family's territory back then?"
He felt a little nervous. Anna had never shown any hostility since seeing the hope of escape. He had always thought that it was because the people who fought the demons had nothing to do with Anna that she could be so indifferent. But if those people are all citizens of her territory, he would have to re-examine his relationship with this self-destructing magician.
But what surprised him was that Anna shook her head: "No, that area is not our family's territory. We just received the kingdom's mutual aid order to help. In fact, we and the Regina family have never dealt with each other."
"Then what's going on with these humans?" Lance asked.
"I don't know." Anna said anxiously: "Although our family's territory is also on the border of the kingdom, it is adjacent to the United States of Secrets and has no contact with demons. How could those people become captives of demons?"
Lance spread his hands: "You may only be able to ask those four humans these questions."
Anna's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Highness, you agree to save them, right?"
"I won't save them." Lance replied: "I can only guarantee that they will not die, and it's the kind without freedom."
The disappointment on Anna's face flashed across her face, but she was not stupid. She knew that she even couldn't protect herself at this stage, so she was lucky that Lance was willing to take action.
"That's enough..." Anna glanced at him gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
"Don't be so anxious to thank me." Lance said calmly: "What I value most is transactions. Anna, this time my condition is your last name, but next time... no one knows what it will be. "
Anna was stunned: "What...what do you mean?"
"It's nothing." He said: "I just hope you don't mess up. I also hope you understand that if you want to survive in this city, you must cooperate with me."
The panic flashed across Anna's face and she lowered her head: "I understand, Your Highness."
Lance nodded, then looked at Barbara: "Is it okay to knock people out without being noticed?"
Barbara raised her head: "It's a piece of cake!"
"But..." She was a little confused: "Are you going to take them back to the mansion?"
"I don't want to make this trouble." Lance smiled: "Of course I have a place to put them."
~~~~
A small carriage came to a building under the cover of darkness.
Looking at such a building, Barbara blinked: "Boss, is this place reliable?"
Lance glanced at her: "Is there any more reliable place than the dungeon of the Demon City?"
"But..." She reminded: "Boss, didn't you say we should keep a low profile? This place..."
"Are you worried about Spark?" Lance smiled: "Don't worry, let's not mention that no one except the nobles who are in contact with the Monitor Lizard Chamber of Commerce knows about human affairs. This Balrog Spark alone is quite reliable. "
"Why?"
"Because he has no strong background."
"Have you investigated?"
"Does this still need to be investigated?" Lance curled his lips: "The Balrog Race is a famous fighting race, a semi-elemental creature given by God. Which race like this race is not on the battlefield or employed by some powerful people? This guy has such a high talent but was actually thrown into the dungeon of the Demon Capital. If he had a little background, he wouldn't have been so miserable. In other words, this guy was arranged here because he offended someone. "
Lance threw the token to Barbara: "Go and call this unfortunate warden."
"Eh, it's my turn to do this work again." Barbara took the token and disappeared. After a while, Lance saw a large flame suddenly appear on top of a spire in the dungeon.
Then the flame subsided instantly, and the torch-like Spark rushed over to Lance from a distance after a while, "I'm coming, Your Highness!"
Lance frowned: "Could you put out the flames when you sneaked out to meet me?"
Spark was also sincere: "But if you put it out, I will die."
"...." Lance shook his head helplessly and pointed to the carriage behind him: "Lock these four humans up for me."
Spark nodded repeatedly: "No problem, Your Highness."
"By the way, someone may be checking the whereabouts of them later. Do you know how to answer?"
Spark thought for a moment and answered carefully: "If they don't ask me in person, no one who they want to find is imprisoned in my dungeon."
Lance smiled: "What if they ask you in person?"
Spark immediately said: "When I went out to patrol the streets, I accidentally discovered four humans who were trying to escape and caught them easily."
"Then why not check the origins of these four humans."
"Because I hate humans. In my eyes, humans have only two identities, prisoners or corpses."
"Very good." Lance looked at Spark in surprise.
Spark chuckled and said: "Your Highness, I have a little intelligence, otherwise I would not be the warden of this dungeon but become the first balrog in the history who was sent to the crematorium to burn the boiler. "
Seeing his proud look, Lance was puzzled. Why does this guy look a little smug about this embarrassing thing?
After dealing with the affairs of these humans, Lance waved his hand: "Let's go."
"Where else are we going?" Anna asked.
"You are stupid!" Barbara became excited: "We have killed people and saved people tonight, but we haven't robbed the rich yet! That's the most important thing!"
Lance raised his head. He remembered what he said at the beginning was to rob the rich and give to the poor. Did this succubus overlook something?
